Tiawan's passion for baseball has many roots....

It is from a newspaper reported by Shelley Shan. It was talking about the baseball game in Taiwan.

The Beijing Olympics qualifying game was hold in Taiwan. There were eight teams from different countries but only three would be nabbed and that was Taiwan, Canada and South Korea in the end. Taiwan have done an excellent job in almost every game. The young players exceeded everyone's expectation. Their performance made people proud.

I have the same feeling about that. I was also crazy about watching the game. It's too bad that we don't have a television in the dormitory. Everyone was crowed in the student's restaurant before the television at six p.m. on time. We shouted, furrayed, and kept saying "TAIWAN!GO! GO!" Everyone in Tiawan was united at that time. That's why the researcher Hsieh Shih-Yuan of the National Tiwan Museum noted that "baseball has provided a healing and unifying force that could not be found elsewhere in the nation." I think that "the healing force" means the force that could make our hearts got together about something. He also said that "the baseball has played an important role in raising the profile of Taiwan when it was still an unknown member of the international community." Like Wang Chien-ming , his excellent job made Taiwan's international position much higher than ever.
In the end, I just want to say, "Keep going Tiawan' bsaeball players. Make us proud again in Beijing Olympics!"
